As a home user who is a PC tech and gaming enthusiast, with a specific penchant for boundary pushing graphical features and technology, it's eminently desirable to invest in hardware that showcases groundbreaking features and technology, which can and has been leveraged to the fullest extent by myself, in the majority of gaming that I have done and continue to do since purchasing said technology. I also consider it a low risk investment, as the die space taken by the fixed function hardware enabling these features is ≤8%, and at the time of purchase the product represented a substantial (≥100%) uplift in "traditional" performance metrics over the product I came from, for the same price, and a product without those features, or much weaker versions of them, was a comparable cost.
To each their own, but in my typical style I like to showcase another side of the coin, as it were. Consider that we perhaps lie near opposite ends of this spectrum, and each user will make a determination based on their desired outcomes and perceived product benefits. Neither of our choices are wrong, just as much as neither are inherently correct for anyone else but ourselves.
